Victorian terrace with a tall but thin entrance hall. Completely redecorating it - how can I make it look not as tall but wider? Ceiling is 10 feet, length around 12 feet, width It had a nasty carolina front door and dado rails which I have removed for decorating. We have a replacement door being put in which is 3/4 arched glass with a single wide panel at the bottom, which should help. There are two inner doors and staircase off (sideways) and a large radiator, so not much room for putting anything fancy in. There's also a plaster arch at the rear end just before the stair area, but the arch has seen much better days and can't really be repaired so I will remove it.
Any do's and don'ts?
